Jon Snow had a hell of a time killing one of the walkers and then had to burn him, but dopey Tarly sticks one in the shoulder blade and it disintegrates. Do the books evetually explain this? Might the show explain it?

They are vulnerable to obsidian and its an obsidian dagger. I didn't see the episode or read that part of the books yet, but I came across that reading about them one time.

I believe it's called Dragonglass....

Spoiler:

I believe that in whatever I read, those are the same thing, and in every rpg i've played, its been called obsidian so that stuck in my brain.

I feel like they spoiled the Red and Purple wedding by having her announce who the leeches represented. In the books, I don't recall her naming names.

Moar spoilerz!

Spoiler:

It's been awhile since I read the book now, but from some comments I read last night, supposedly in the book he named Balon and Jofferey and then after a long pause named Robb. I don't know that people will necessarily know when the others will die, but after the Red Wedding, people are going to know the others are likely doomed as well.
